[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 381070, member: 3419"] Occasionally, laughter and joking works with-difficult child. But as Marg pointed out, it can backfire. He thinks I'm making fun of him. Then he gets even more irate. I'm just going to continue practicing detachment. I will talk to husband about having us all eat at the table, too. He came home today, and picked up McDonald's for difficult child ... served it to him on his throne. I said, "Wait, I thought we were eating together as a family." "Well, it was hot and ready and ours isn't ready yet, so I just gave it to him." Sigh. I think we need more consistency. When I talk to difficult child (again) about coming to the table, he's going to protest (first of all we are boring) and say that we've been letting him eat in the livingroom so why change now? He's like a lawyer arguing a case. So I just have to stand my ground, and make sure that husband is on the same page. Thank you all so much for your kind and well thought-out remarks. It really helps to know that I'm not alone. [/QUOTE]
